Red Mage use Casting gear!!

[Vexander]

I think casters are going to need a bit more variety in gear appearances if RDM is going to be added to them. But then again, they could really do with more variety anyway. So it comes down to how much they're going to add more gear (glamour) variety to casters to accommodate the addition of RDM, and how much they're going to shoehorn RDM into the existing aesthetic.

The existing aesthetic isn't all that bad. Look at the Shire Set. Just needs a different hat and it's solid for a Red Mage.
